A nun skydiving in a thunderstorm
Frogs tapdancing on lily pads

A great vivid fun imagination driven 2 liner, both lines clever to let people understand how silly some people talk or think, definitely fantasy, but get this, some could fall into the trap, not speaking of poetry soup readers merely others reading this outside soup. HAVE A RELATION WHO SWEARS WAS A JET PILOT YET IF A LIFT MISSES 13 AND GOES TO 14TH FLOOR GETS OUT. SAYS IN FRONT OF US TO OTHERS AND THEY BELIEVE HIM, THEY SHOULD TRY TAKING HIM INTO A LIFT HIGHER THAN 12 FLOORS. Hugs Jennifer.

Your lines sound like fairy tales and magic moments in time - unbelievable, yet magic moments we would long to be true and see them happening or even experience them. Fantastic imagery. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Oh, dearest Jack, I love the dynamic and dramatic imagery.. On the surface it's delightfully whimsical with vivid visuals, but beneath the surface, a Catholic could have fun unpacking the metaphorical layers lol! Wonderful writing, my inspiring friend. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan
